The Atheneum - Richard Meier & Partners - New Harmony - Indiana 1979 - USA 1980
When it opened in 1979 it won a Progressive Architecture Award,
and in 1982 won an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honor Award.
Meier‘s homage lies in part in his formal vocabulary, with its pilotis, ramps, and pure white forms,
but also in his emphasis on the architectural promenade, that is, the journey through the building.
Richard Meier has said of the Atheneum that
„circulation is the main spatial protagonist of this building and the ramp is its most vital element".
